Video 'shows Ukrainian special forces
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Video footage appears to show Ukrainian special forces 'cleaning up' Wagner Group troops in Sudan, ambushing the mercenaries with RPGs in shocking urban warfare.

Grainy infrared footage shot from above shows Ukrainian soldiers in a dense unnamed area in Sudan 'within the last two weeks', according to the Kyiv Post.

The clip shows the unit moving to surround a compound and alleged hostile mercenaries highlighted with red squares.

From one view, multiple targets are seen moving around in a building, apparently unaware of the approaching operatives. An explosion suddenly rocks the building, which erupts with a huge plume of smoke.

A Ukrainian soldier is seen firing a hand-held RPG towards the window of the building.

A source in Ukraine's security and defense sector told the Kyiv Post that Ukrainian special forces are currently working in Sudan to 'clean up' Wagner PMC, as well 'their local terrorists and the Russian Federation's special services'.

They said: 'The footage probably shows the work of special units of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.'
